if it is a really light tasting olive oil it will be fine, but if it is a more potent oil, it may taste a bit off

No. Use canola oil instead. Also look online for recipes that use applesauce instead oil/eggs.

I would not recommend it. Although olive oil is a healthier substitute, the taste outcome of the cake will probably not be all that good.

You can likely get away with doing it if the olive oil you are using is very light. The darker the olive oil, the more pungent the olive taste which would not be compatible with the chocolate cake.

yeah ~ I’ve tried it before and it worked. You can use it as substitute, as long as it’s not animal-based oil.

All About Olives Oils
I probably wouldn’t for two reasons.
1) I doubt the cake mix you are using would compensate for the difference in taste of olive oil vs/ vegetable oil. Olive oil is really pretty ‘nutty’ in taste, and the cheaper varieties can sometimes be a little acidic. I’m not sure what this would do to a cake flavor.
2) baking is based on the same principles as chemistry. Each part has it’s own properties and scientific role to play in the chemical reaction that happens when you bake. I don’t generally advocate making substitutions in baking. Even though the makers of Crisco would have you believe that you can swap your butter for Crisco, I’ve found that it still needs a little adjustment in the recipe to successfully work.

I wouldn’t use olive oil. One of my favorite Italian restaurants features Olive Oil Cake for dessert – I don’t like it at all – tastes kind of off. Also, good olive oil costs so much more than vegetable oil – why waste it?

Try adding plain yoghurt or sour cream instead of any sort of oil. It cuts down on the calories, and the cake remains moist and good tasting.
